Imagine sending a sealed letter across a crowded city where anyone might intercept it. The seal on the envelope keeps the contents private, the signature on the letter proves the sender is who they claim to be, and reusing the same secure channel later without starting from scratch keeps things efficient. That’s roughly how the internet’s main security protocol works every time you open a banking site, send a message, or load an app. The protocol, known as Transport Layer Security (TLS), creates

For decades, online security has relied on cryptographic systems that are robust against classical computers. But quantum computing changes the game. It threatens to undermine the mathematical foundations of widely used encryption methods, exposing sensitive data captured today to future decryption and exploitation. This looming threat has catalyzed a global effort to build quantum-safe cryptography, and a recent survey by Chhetri et al. offers a sweeping and useful view of how post-quantum c
Our friends at FortiGuard Labs recently discovered a phishing campaign that employs multiple advanced evasion techniques. These include the use of an Easy Programming Language (EPL) to develop a staged payload, concealing malicious operations and disabling security tools to prevent alert triggers, securing Command and Control (C2) communications using mutual TLS (mTLS), supporting various methods for deploying additional payloads, and even installing popular remote access tools to grant attacke
